Ilie Nastase will not be invited to the Royal Box at Wimbledon this year following his behaviour at last month's Fed Cup tie against Great Britain.

Romania team captain Nastase, 70, was ejected from from the match in Constanta following a foul-mouthed tirade directed at his British counterpart Anne Keothavong and British No.1 Johanna Konta - one of a series of incidents for which he is awaiting sanction by the International Tennis Federation.

The All England Club indicated last week that it would block the two-time finalist's customary invitation to the Royal Box, and this was confirmed by chairman Philip Brook at the Wimbledon spring press conference on Wednesday.

The controversial weekend began when Nastase was overheard at the press conference on the eve of the tie talking about Serena Williams' unborn baby, saying: "Let's see what colour it has. Chocolate with milk?"

He had already asked Keothavong for her hotel room number, and, after insulting a Press Association journalist the following day, when play got under way, Nastase was heard to call Keothavong and Konta "f****** bitches" in a rant which has led to his provisional suspension by the ITF.

Brook said: "What he did, we have to say, his actions were not very good and we condemn them. In terms of an invitation to the Royal Box, he is not going to receive an invitation this year."

Nastase has been a regular at the championships and was spotted in the prestigious seating area in 2015 wearing a Romanian military-style uniform.

Brook said the All England Club supported the ITF's decision to provisionally suspend the former world number one, and felt the Royal Box ban was therefore appropriate.

Asked if Nastase remained a member, Brook replied: "No. For now he is suspended by the ITF and we will wait for the outcome of the ITF."

He added: "If he is suspended and we noticed him, he would be stopped.

"It (the ITF provisional ban) doesn't (cover grand slams), but we would support that suspension. We will wait for the outcome of the investigation."

Nastase initially said he had no regrets about his conduct throughout the fiery tie. He later issued an apology, albeit claiming reports of events had been "exaggerated by all".

The Romanian could also lose his membership of the prestigious Laureus Academy, which "disassociates itself fully" with Nastase's comments and is "discussing the matter internally".
